* It may have been a hint of how Sagi was the original "source" of Shounen Bat. Or it may have symbolised the point when Shounen Bat's power grew or changed - after all, before that, he didn't kill anyone, just "fixed" them. After that moment, he started his killing spree, so as Shounen Bat's creator, Sagi reacted to the change, maybe? |

I don't understand how this episode connects to anything at all. Is it only to show that ghosts in this world exist so people aren't surprised when Misae talks to Keiichi in his fantasy world? On the [[wikipedia:Paranoia agent#Creation|Wiki Page]] they have a quote from the creator stating that he did the anime so he could just put down whatever came to his mind. Is this just something he did on a whim? It seems like Little Slugger was just shoehorned into the episode and was pretty pointless. It doesn't seem like this episode ties into anything. |

** This troper thought that the purpose of Happy Family Planning was to show how truly messed up the universe of Paranoia Agent is. We are seeing three people who want to die and are willing to seek it out, even at the hands of Lil'Slugger, after all. It also seems that the episode is addressing a form of escape that many people in Japan have been attempting: suicide, and it's doing it in such a ironic manor that whenever we laugh we don't know whether or not that's a good thing. |
